Chapter 4: Strange Work

It's been more than three months since she left the city that made her emotionally sad, but Xiao Xia's mood still can't be calmed. She wanted to forget, but she couldn't do it anyway, and whenever she was free, the figure of that person came to mind.

If a man is like water, Bao Datong is a flowing river, which will bring the woman he loves all the way to rush happily; Thousands of miles are like a well, sweet, safe, deep and rich in connotation; On the way to get close to him, she was always worried that an avalanche would occur, which would make her suffer a catastrophe, and she was worried that the weather would stop her on the road, but when she climbed to the top of the mountain with all kinds of hardships, she found that the glacial lake had been frozen, or that it had always been frozen and had never melted!

Wanli is so good, why doesn't she love Wanli?! Even if Bao Datong is a good man in a hundred, why does she love the most indifferent one?!

She didn't blame him for not loving her, because love was two-sided and couldn't be forced, what she hated was that he accepted it, but immediately gave up, panicked as if he regretted expressing his feelings to her. It made her feel humiliated and sad, feeling that the best feelings she had cherished in her heart for years were despised and ridiculed by him.

In fact, she was afraid, afraid to see him, afraid to talk to him, and didn't know how to face him in the future and how to get along, so she had to run away.

She left a letter of resignation for Director Pan and left, saying nothing to her parents, anyway, she has been away for a long time, and the family is used to it, and she believes that Wan Li will not go to her parents to find her, because Wan Li understands that she is a temper who runs outside to hide when something happens, and will not go home; Anyway, after she, a not-so-elite lawyer, stays away from that elite gathering place, Director Pan, who has been protecting her, will no longer be embarrassed; Anyway, her departure will make Ruan Zhan relaxed, and there is no need to hide and dodge, anyway, this is the best ending for everyone, including herself.

However, why is it that when she leaves, there are always bursts of palpitations coming to her, as if Ruan Zhan keeps calling her?!

Whenever this happens, she deliberately thinks about and does other things, blocking their heartfelt responses to each other, in her heart, she feels that he won't miss her, yes, just guilt!

In this case, it is better not to see each other until they can treat each other calmly.

She is a typical moonlight family and does not have much savings, so although she has been saving money, she was penniless when she wandered to this county seat in southern Sichuan. She ran away from home because of emotional injury, and she went wherever she went, hoping that she could place her love on the landscape, how could she be in the mood to make money, and when she thought of going to Yunnan to find Abai, she found that there was no travel fee at all.

Fortunately, she saw a recruitment revelation from a county newspaper that she occasionally bought, that an investor was looking for a secretary and legal adviser, and the job requirements and salary offer seemed to be specially set up for her.

"Miss Yue, this job requires frequent business trips, are you up to the task?" The employer's voice brought Xiao Xia, who was in a daze, back to his senses.

"No problem at all, don't worry." Although she felt that this boss was very satisfied with her education and work experience, Xiao Xia still answered very sincerely, hoping that this boss could invite her,

From the dress of this named He Fugui, it can be seen that he is a rich man who has made a windfall, dressed in jewels, and he can't wait to put all his wealth on his body, which is extremely vulgar. His facial features are ordinary and plain, his figure is tall and thin, and he is like a dying poplar, but judging from his appearance, although he is a little trivial, he is definitely not a pervert, at most he has a thief's heart and no thief's guts, so she is relatively safe as a single woman. In other respects, she was very unconfident, except when it came to seeing people, she trusted her instincts, and her instincts were never wrong.

"I haven't been to you, but I know that the school you graduated from is a prestigious university, why did you come to a small place like ours?" He Fugui was very satisfied with this Miss Yue who came to apply. Seeing that she has a delicate and charming face, elegant and decent manners, and at first glance she is highly educated in a big city, and it should be very pleasing to the eye when she walks beside such a secretary. But his good luck came too suddenly, and he always felt a little like a dream when he accepted it, and he couldn't help but ask carefully.

Xiao Xia felt a pain in his heart without exception, and covered up, "There is no reason, I just feel that money is not a very important thing, and I just want to change the environment." Although he said it generously, considering the salary promised by Boss He, Xiao Xia was still a little greedy. She has decided to go to Ah Bai and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests for a while, just staying in the mountains, she doesn't have any ability to survive, and she doesn't want to increase the burden on the kind villagers of Naman Village, so she needs money.

It shouldn't be so difficult to work for this rich man, even if she sees the wrong person, she is not afraid, her Five Elements Forbidden Law has been practiced at a certain level, and the advantage of this spell is that it also has an effect on the living. She didn't forget to bring a large handful of Bao Datong's charms when she ran out, a few days ago a man had bad intentions towards her, and she used the earth technique of the Five Elements Forbidden Law to shake her face with mud, and almost suffocated to death, so scared that the person thought that he had met a female ghost.

He Fugui saw that Xiao Xia was neither humble nor arrogant, and wanted to put up a shelf and ask something more, but he couldn't say anything at this time, so he said, "Since this is the case, we have determined it like this." The salary conditions and work content are according to our agreement, and the overtime and leave are in accordance with the regulations of the state. Or what I said, I have to travel a lot, even all the time running around the country, maybe going abroad, you have to follow along, you can't ask for leave, okay? ”

Xiao Xia nodded, "Okay, but I hope that a contract can be signed, so that it is a guarantee for both parties." ”

He Fugui was stunned, he didn't expect this, but there were two women's voices of appreciation in his ears. In the past half a month, he has been accustomed to the instructions and reminders of the two great immortals to him, and he is not afraid, and at this moment he understands that they are also more satisfied with Yue Xiaoxia, so he signed the employment contract on the spot, and Xiaoxia became the secretary of He Fugui, an upstart in Jinshi Town.

Xiao Xia is more satisfied with this job, but if Director Pan is by her side, she will definitely lose her temper for her constant sloppy personality, she only noticed the salary and work content, and did not pay attention to the origin of the boss, what the company's main business is, and did not even investigate whether the company she worked for was legitimate. This may not be much for the average candidate, but as a lawyer who has worked in such a high-level law firm for several years, the mistakes made are simply too low-level.

But in any case, she became He Fugui's secretary, and the next day she began to follow her boss to carry out nationwide 'liquid investment' activities. But after only a few days, she found that there was only Boss He and four bodyguards in the entire 'Fugui Company', and her work was extremely idle, except for running around with the boss, arranging air tickets and schedules, there was nothing to do, it was completely a decoration. And whenever the boss goes out at night, only the bodyguards follow.

She was a little uneasy about this, she always felt that there was no such simple thing in the world, and there were more than five people around Boss He, there seemed to be something hidden around and behind the scenes. It's a strange feeling, vague but clear.

That night, a group of six of them came to a bustling city in the south, and He Fugui was busy enjoying the night view, as usual, he and four bodyguards went out together, leaving Xiao Xia alone in the luxurious presidential suite.

Natsu is not an idiot, and she is not unsuspicious of all this. He Fugui said that he was inspecting investment, but he was not an official dispatcher, nor did he reach an intention on investment, that is, he didn't make a penny these days, but he was extremely luxurious in terms of food and accommodation, and he never even frowned when he spent a lot of money, as if the money was not his. Two days ago, they also encountered some thrilling things, a group of people attacked them in the underground parking lot of the hotel, which kept the four bodyguards busy for a while, and the strangest thing was that there were several inexplicable mistakes among those thugs, and their faces were hideous as if they were possessed by evil spirits, which frightened Xiao Xia.

What does He Fugui do? He's not going to be doing something illegal, is he? Wouldn't she be an accomplice then? Asking directly is the most unwise, if He Fugui is really not a good person, her inquiry is equivalent to exposing her suspicions, although she has a bit of a spell, but considering that He Fugui seems to have some secret protection, the chance of her being able to get out safely is extremely small. If she doesn't pay attention to it, if she is rich and unlucky, she may be involved.

She ran away to avoid trouble, so she definitely can't get into another trouble! Thinking about it, it seemed that there was only one way to observe secretly, and since she began to doubt, she had begun to pay attention.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Xia knew that He Fugui would definitely not return all night, so he went back to his suite to sleep. At the sweetest of her sleep, she dreamed of the man who broke her heart as usual. He stood by a river with his back to her, not saying a word, and in the dream she was not so sensible, but just chased after him according to her feelings.

Xiao Xia called Ruan Zhan, but he didn't pay attention to her at all, but walked away, although he always dreamed of such a scene, Xiao Xia still felt heart-rending pain, and couldn't help but chase after her.

At her feet, there was a muddy mountain road, and every step she took was extremely hard, as if she couldn't open her legs, but she still desperately called him and chased him. Finally, the river in front of him turned into a huge waterfall, and Ruan Zhan stopped on the cliff at the upper end of the waterfall.

She didn't know what was going on, she felt that he was going to die, and great fear choked her body and mind, but there was an invisible resistance in front of her that prevented her from getting close to him.

"Ruan Zhan, wait for me, whatever you do, take me with you." She screamed loudly, but the sound that came out of her throat was the sound of the wind.

Ruan Zhan moved and slowly turned around.

Xiao Xia was startled, and for a moment she had the urge to run away, because Ruan Zhan's body turned out to be He Fugui's face.

"Come with me, okay, come on!" He grinned, his teeth were red and stained red with blood! Xiao Xia looked down and saw that he was taking out his heart and liver to eat!

"Do you like it too? That's for you to eat! He still smiled sluggishly and reached out to Natsu.

Xiao Xia wanted to run, but couldn't move, watching He Fugui keep approaching, but the Five Elements Forbidden Law couldn't remember how to use it, so she could only scream loudly, and with her, in addition to He Fugui's cruel smile, it was the sound of 'whooshing'.

And at the same time as his ghost-clawed hand touched her delicate neck, Xiao Xia finally woke up from the nightmare!

Luckily, it's a dream! But even though it's a dream, it's still so scary! Are dreams a foreshadowing or a reaction to the truest thoughts of the heart? What does this dream represent?

And the sound of the water, so clear, so close as it were—like in her room, and it still ringing!

Realizing this, Xiao Xia's whole body tightened, and she completely woke up from that terrible dream. She hid in bed and did not dare to move, carefully discerning the movement in the darkness, and at that moment, the sound of water was heard again.

It's in the bathroom!

Someone's flushing the toilet - no, it's bathing!

Although she had encountered too many things, Xiao Xia was still very useless and scared, but she forced herself not to run away or run away, to face her fears, thinking that she would have to rely on herself for everything in the future.

She quietly moved her arm and took out a charm from under the pillow, which felt like a water charm, so she silently reviewed the spell that she couldn't remember in her dream just now, and then concentrated the feeling in the direction of the bathroom.

Recall that after she took a shower, she definitely did not forget to turn off the faucet, and the current situation would not be that the water pipe was broken, because the flushing sound was absent for a while, and it seemed that someone was taking a bath in it. But it is impossible for a thief to break into the room and not rob money or sex, but just to take a bath!

So, who is she or he?

Sure that all the abnormalities were in the bathroom, Xiao Xia lifted the quilt and got out of bed at a very slow speed, gritted her teeth, and forced herself to slowly approach the bathroom. The pure wool carpet underneath her feet ensured that she didn't make a sound, and she gradually realized that the movement was indeed in the bathroom, but the light was still dark inside.

Tick - Tick -

At this time, Xiao Xia was already standing by the door of the bathroom, the door was hidden, but the sound of water inside suddenly stopped, and there was only the cool sound of intermittent water dripping on the marble floor.

She slowly reached out and pressed the light switch next to the door, but before she could press it, the light suddenly turned on!

The instantaneous bright light made Xiao Xia temporarily fall into a state of blindness for a moment. She subconsciously shrank back, pointing forward with the charm in her hand, and waited for her eyes to adjust to the light before she slammed open the door and broke into the bathroom.

Pouring out the three rivers, the waves are sweeping the sky-

She screamed, but for fear of hurting the innocent, she didn't say the last word 'sleepy', only protecting herself, and when she looked around the bathroom, she found that it was empty.

Behind you is a bath mirror! She should see what's there!

Xiao Xia thought and turned away.
